From October 23 to 25, the first Weifang International Food and Agricultural 
Products Expo with the theme of "Openness, Innovation and Integration" was held 
in Weifang National Agricultural Comprehensive Zone in East China's Shandong 
Province, according to the Publicity Department of Weifang Municipality.

The expo was held online, with a total of 1,030 enterprises including national 
and provincial leading agricultural firms, food and produce technical 
equipment, technical service enterprises and large e-commerce platforms joining 
the cloud-based event.

There were nearly 10,000 exhibits, and six online exhibition areas were set up 
to showcase national famous and special food and agricultural products, 
domestic food, imported food, technical services and commercial equipment, 
online best-selling products, and livestreaming services, which fully displayed 
new technologies, new achievements, and new products in China's agricultural 
food industry. 

"Each of our eggs is printed with a red code to ensure the traceability of each 
egg. It's not that the darker the color of the egg yolk, the better. The real 
grain-fed egg shows the yellow color of natural corn kernels. The color of the 
egg yolk can actually be realized by adding additives to the feed," an anchor 
introduced the common sense of egg quality to the audience, in the 
livestreaming room of the expo's online exhibition platform.

The exhibition also realized real-time interactive trading, intelligent 
business negotiation, full-link participation experience, industry big data 
information search and other functions, creating a new format of online 
exhibition of food and produce as well as an international exhibition, exchange 
and cooperation platform. 

At the opening ceremony of the expo, Liu Yun, a senior official with Weifang, 
said that agriculture is one of Weifang's most competitive industries and has 
formed six major industries of grain, vegetables, livestock and poultry, 
flowers, seedlings, melons and fruits and two leading industries of seeds and 
agricultural machinery.

"Weifang will take the holding of this exhibition as an opportunity and take 
special food and agricultural products as a medium to comprehensively 
strengthen exchanges with domestic and foreign enterprises and institutions, 
tap the potential for cooperation and seek opportunities for cooperation," said 
Liu, adding that Weifang will strive to offer the best services to realize 
common development, mutual benefit and win-win.
